Fannin County Transfer Station

Fannin County Transfer Station sits just off Lakewood Highway in Mineral Bluff and is used mainly by county residents and local haulers who need a closer place to drop loads than driving to a distant landfill. It's the sort of small, practical site where trucks hand off trash that gets compacted and sent on out of county.

A simple entrance with a small booth and a drive-up area to tip loads is common at a place like this; expect to pull up, talk to someone at the booth if it's manned, then back up to the drop-off point. There’s usually a scale somewhere on the property so loads can be weighed and fees assessed by weight. The site is outdoors with compacted dirt or gravel surfaces and large containers or a hopper where material is placed before being loaded into transfer trailers. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines and waiting are possible.
